I rented this not knowing it was a gay movie, but I just thought what the hell and continued watching. It's OK, some of the characters and situations were silly and weird, and I mean in a cheesy way, and overall there's nothing really special in this movie (except maybe seeing a guy shit the floor with diarrhea), or maybe I'm not too familiar with gay cinema.

A film with a lot of potential, but doesn't quite work. The idea is great and if this had a better budget, with better acting and Judd Apatow at the helm, it would probably be great. However, here, it is bad direction, unrefined writing and some godawful acting.Moments of good, but lots of bad. A shame, but would be a great Apatow film.

I feel the need to defend this movie. The first time I saw it I hated it, but something kept bringing me back to it and I began to appreciate that the sheer ridiculousness and at times corniness was all very much on purpose and wonderfully hilarious. I never get sick of this movie.

I can't decide what was worse the writing or the "acting". The sad part is that there are a few good actors in here - including the usually brilliant Parker Posey.

Apparently the writers couldn't be bothered to come up with an interesting enough script to keep the audience's attention so it threw in some diarrhea and vomit. This may have been in written by brain damaged 8 year olds.

This movie has some of the best one-liners. I love it. I'm a huge Parker Posey fan and this proves why. She's so dry! I love her! A really cute romantic film, with funny moments and a couple of stomach churning ones! All the better! Watch it I say! Double dare you...

I love this film, it's excellently written with good wit. Some scenes and timing were uneven but generally good. A very funny film that pokes fun of pop culture and satirical. I can't stop laughing throughout the film, although I didn't quite like the toilet humour being used in the beginning. Adam and Steve are gonna be a good couple. Everyone did a great job in the film.

This was the second movie I saw at the Reeling Festival a few years ago. I guess it was good that I saw this second, because it lifted my mood after seeing the previous one. Basically, this is a gay romantic comedy. Unfortunately, I felt like it failed on both counts of being romantic or funny. Most of the jokes weren't that great (in fact, some were just stupid, repetitive, and annoying), and the relationship between the title characters didn't feel real. It's like they met and then magically were in love. It wasn't very believable because they were so different and had nothing in common. A past meeting between the two that ties them together (although neither realize it) is more disgusting than funny. The acting wasn't that great either. Adam and Steve gave mediocre performances, but the performances from their friends, portrayed by Chris Kattan and Parker Posey, were awful. Normally, I'd probably give this a 2, but I gave it a couple extra points because it's the first movie I've seen that centered around a gay male couple. (SPOILER: They even end up getting married in the end. aww...) Anyway, unless you're gay and up for a cheap laugh, I doubt you'll enjoy this movie.
